Abstract

The implementation of the Calculus capabilities of PC computational platforms allows for the application of techniques to solve the equations which govern physical processes in the ocean. The Port Authority of Bilbao, the Maritime Engineering Laboratory (LIM) of the UPC and AZTI, are developing a project, co-financed by the OCYT and FEDER funds, aiming to provide the Port of Bilbao with a numerical forecasting tool of marine pollution due to spillage accidents of hydrocarbons. The system to be developed will simulate, initially, the hydrodynamic conditions in the estuary. Therefore, the three-dimensional algorithms for the resoluti
